Isn't too much protein bad for the liver???

My dietician told my nutrition class and support group about the damaging effects of the Atkins diet. Many people who were on the diet have been admitted to the hospital with liver failure, due to the high protein diet. Wouldn't the same happen if we were to take protein supplements and eat protein at the same time?? I am not trying to be rude, but everyone keeps pushing protein supplements. After the first month or so, we should be getting the protein needed from the foods that we eat. My dietician says that we do not need any additional protein for the first month or so because of the stores we have in our body. So why the protein push???
